SMILE-VET – E-learning programme

The SMILE-method has become a flexible way of addressing issues about integrating culture and heritage with learning and education through digital media. The courses are run through the EU LLP’s adult and teacher education programme and are established in Sweden, Ireland, Turkey and Italy. The courses are amongst the most successful within the LLP program, with 26 courses since 2002, with over 600 participants.

SMILE-VET is a Leonardo/Transfer of Innovation project (2010-2012) that aimed to develop a similar training course for the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector with special reference to VETPROS within cultural heritage and for archives, libraries and museums. It also had a special reference to learners with special needs. The SMILE-VET project created educational tools for VET which in the long term will strengthen the quality of VET teaching in Europe.

E-learning programme

A part of the project was to develop a range of e-learning modules for vocational teachers and trainers which demonstrate different methodologies used in the ALM sector across Europe.
